has anybody ever changed the valve that controls the hydraulic mount in the rear of the engine? i have been looking into this more and more, started leaning towards the motor mounts and figured id give it a shot here first. its a 97 2.2SE. im thinking my valve has gone bad. but before i go ahead and spend $40- id inquire.

 

i have never changed just that valve, but i have changed the whole mount before. are any of the other mounts broken?

 

all the mounts seem to be intact. i have the service bulletin from honda for the troubleshooting of this mount. this weekend i will give it a shot and let you know what i come up with.

 

So the mount holds vacuum, and the control valve is also working. i did all the honda troubleshooting as per the service bulletin. they say to replace the mount. its pretty pricey so i will see how bad this vibration gets then ill go after it. for now i will just deal with it. ::end Rant:: lol

 

Did you look online for the part or call a honda dealership? Just our of curiousity how much did they say the mount cost?

 

are the other motor mounts ok ??

 

The other mounts appear to be okay...

 

the mount is roughly $300- and that valve is about $50- ill probably change both just to be safe.

The honda bulletin i got from a friend that works for Honda.
